Margarita Martinez’s daughter Fernanda had a cold. She tested positive for COVID, but doctors found a bigger problem — a tumor in her trachea.
The summer camp told Martinez that her daughter had a “cold,” but her cough quickly worsened while sightseeing in New York City. After they arrived at the hospital, doctors rushed to stabilize her and gave her medicine to treat her COVID-19 after her positive test.
Doctors wanted to keep her in the hospital, and suddenly Martinez met a slew of specialists, including an adult cardiothoracic surgeon who explained what he was going to do to remove the mass. The surgery included putting Fernanda on ECMO, a form of life support, which scared Martinez. “Our adult colleagues in interventional pulmonary are more familiar with acting upon masses within the trachea because they are so rare in childhood,” she says. “It was a natural connection to work with them to biopsy and reduce the bulk tremendously.”
To perform the surgery, Cerfolio needed the assistance of the ECMO team so they could divert Fernanda’s breathing while he removed the mass and repaired her trachea. Dr. Jason Fisher oversaw the ECMO. Fisher explains that disease that caused Fernanda's mass, aka the pathology of it, was"somewhat unique, and it’s not a common tumor in children or quite frankly ... adults. We are very familiar with airway issues and lesions in children … but at the end of the day, it was a tumor that we don’t see a lot.”Throughout Fernanda’s health scare, Martinez was in New York City alone. While it was stressful at times, Martinez felt she had a lot of support from loved ones from afar.
